THE ED MYLETT SHOW

Have you ever felt like nobody truly understands your dreams? That chasing greatness makes you a target for criticism, doubt, and fear—even from the people closest to you? This week, I’m here to tell you that’s part of the process—and why it’s not only okay but necessary to keep going.

In this episode, I unpack why the path to success requires accepting being misunderstood. I share the power of resilience, the lessons from setbacks, and why lasting longer than others is often the key to victory. Whether it’s critics trying to dim your light or even moments of doubt about the person you’re becoming, I’ll remind you how to stay anchored in your purpose.
